Like father like son ... and did I read a little hint, perhaps Dad will loan a bigger bike? It's great to see our children shine in their own right and how proud he sounds about having toured with his Dad!

Richard – I thought the same thing about that picture. He is a strapping young man, so the bike does look a little small.

VStar Lady – You are correct, as we are going to ride to St Tropez together at the end of April and I will be lending him ‘The Leading Ladies’ which is the bike I rode around America on. Gulp. I know that he will look after it. Yes, it is great seeing all three of my boys shine in their own different ways.

Trobairitz – I love the fact the magazine wanted to write about him. Top guy!

What is this blog about?

This blog was originally started to record a five month, 21000 mile tour of the US on my Harley-Davidson. I continue to use this blog to record my own motorcycling adventures, wherever they may be, along with my thoughts and opinions about motorcycling generally.

About Me

Having devoted most of my adult life to being a ‘company man’, the transition to the next phase of my life away from the construction industry was always going to include some challenges. Planning and then making my dream trip to explore America on my Harley-Davidson proved to be the ideal vehicle for clearing my mind of old ways of thinking and being. I rode 21,475 miles, in 27 US states in four-and-a-half months.
My motorcycling trips have continued, with journeys across much of Europe, New Zealand, North Africa and Cuba.
A few years ago, I set up and now run Tour1, which takes riders on Harley-Davidson Authorised tours across Europe. See www.tour1.co.uk.
I live just north of London in the UK.
